In today’s rapidly evolving business environment, the ability to effectively navigate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) challenges is not just a competitive advantage—it’s a necessity. ESG factors have become central to how businesses operate and are perceived by stakeholders. They influence everything from corporate governance and risk management to brand reputation and investment decisions. As organisations strive to align with global standards and contribute to sustainable development, the need for professionals who understand and can implement ESG strategies is more crucial than ever.
